How much of the 2002 corvette coupe is fiberglass? Specifically are the front fenders fiberglass?

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks, Adam

The front fenders are made from impact-resistant fiberglass.

SMC - Sheet Molded Compound

GM was able to reduce the weight of the 97 Corvette by 41 lbs by using SMC in the doors, hood, and wheel housings.

Only on the Z06 and ZR1, the base model use a steel frame.
